The Watcher

Greg Sutcliffe


Idle with despair, alone, no care

Not longing of life, just sit, just stare

It’s thoughts I hate, don’t know, don’t care

Alone I wish, without my care

I long for sleep, the day grows grey

The crimson light, the night from day

Alone I lay, to watch, just stare

The darkness grows, alone, despair

Dreams seep in, they dance, they shout

Just leave me lone to night, my light.

The dawn does shake the sense of me

To wait the night and not be me.
